Song of Solomon 1:1-7

1 The Song of ^aSongs, which is Solomon’s.

The Bride Confesses Her Love

She ^{▼▼The translators have added speaker identifications based on the gender and number of the Hebrew words}

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your ^clove is better than wine;
3 your ^danointing oils are fragrant;
your ^ename is oil poured out;
therefore virgins love you.
4 ^fDraw me after you; ^glet us run.
^hThe king has brought me into his chambers.

Others

We will ⁱexult and rejoice in you;
we will extol ^jyour love more than wine;
rightly do they love you.

She

5 I am very dark, but ^klovely,
O ^ldaughters of Jerusalem,
like ^mthe tents of ⁿKedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
because the sun has looked upon me.
My ^omother’s sons were angry with me;
they made me ^pkeeper of ^qthe vineyards,
but ^rmy own vineyard I have not kept!
7 Tell me, you ^swhom my soul loves,
where you ^tpasture your flock,
where you make it ^ulie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who veils herself
beside the flocks of your ^vcompanions?

Isaiah 5:1

The Vineyard of the Lord Destroyed

1 Let me sing for my beloved
my love song concerning his vineyard:
My beloved had ^wa vineyard
on a very fertile hill.

Ephesians 5:32

32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.
